Herman Cain is vowing to continue his presidential campaign as he battles an accusation of a 13-year extramarital affair with an Atlanta businesswoman.

A campaign spokesman said yes on Tuesday when asked whether Cain is definitely staying in the race.

One day earlier, Ginger White said in an interview with Fox 5 Atlanta that her affair with Cain ended not long before the former businessman from Georgia announced his candidacy for the White House.

Cain went on television to deny White's claims even before the report aired.

This answers a question that has been in the ether for the last 16 hours, and while it doesn't mean it will always be this way, it ensures a few more news cycles talking about the latest allegations are against Cain.
